Especially right after everyone began retooling factories to produce them and the rest of the world leaves us behind in development. America will be producing the Yugos of the 1980s in a few short years.

That’s true it was excellent and an outlier for the franchise.

Hopefully nothing because every first season of a new ST series is a flop.

Why are the ending the show after 5 seasons without any real replacement? Seems like it’s easy to keep an animated show going since you’re not limited on what’s ‘realistic’ like with live action

I do this too. Any junk that might be sellable but likely not goes to Goodwill so they can deal with it. The decent items go to a local thrift shop that actually helps the community.

The jobs training program where they hire people with disabilities and then pay them below minimum wage because of a loophole in the law?

Is “the west” in the room with you right now? Blink twice if so.

So anything west of China and Russia is “the west?” I suppose Japan and Australia are “the west” too since you can get there if you travel west long enough?

There is a lot of very unusual things in their post history.

These look like Crumbl cookies which are sold in their own stores for ridiculous prices. One cookie can legitimately feed 4 people since they’re so rich (and delicious)

Based on what measure?

I don’t think any of those services will block youtube ads since they’re coming from the same domain as the videos. Only UBlock can block them in a browser. There may be some other YouTube front-end available out there on streaming sticks but they’d likely require root access or some other way of installing unapproved apps.

Same but my ban was for talking about piracy in /r/movies and then accidently posting there again months later on one of my alt accounts.

USB PD is not specced for USB-A which is limited to 5V 2.4A. They had Quick Charge back in the day that got a little bit higher power using 9V but all the modern higher voltage high current PD stuff uses USB-C. The USB-A cables aren’t specced to be running 5A or more that PD uses.

USB-C can deliver more power which is why they’ve been appearing more and more on charging bricks.

Declared a monopoly only in the search engine space AFAIK. Browsers don’t have anything to do with that other than maybe setting Google as the default search engine.

I use Firefox everywhere except work where my only options are Chrome or Edge (both chromium). Apparently uBlock lite is supposed to work on the new version of Chrome and hopefully still functions roughly the same. Apart from block web ads, I rely on it to block YouTube ads.

Someone took Monster’s “$100 gold plated HDMI” cable and one-upped it.

I’d been using AliExpress for quite a while before hearing about Temu. Went to go check it out and it’s like an exact clone of AE (including the discount popups) but then it forces you to install an app in order to buy anything so I noped out. Not sure why anyone would use them when you can get the same shit off AE without all the hoops.
